Everything Star Wars is amazing.
Always.
That battle scene between the Gungans and the Trade Federation Droid Army? That was BADASS! Those Robots! There was like a Million of them and the relfector Gungan shield and those animals and the catapults and OMG it was awesome!
And those Starfighters and stuff, awesome!!
And that twosided lightsaber!!
But wait.... there was that Jar-Jar guy... and when the little kid talked it made me hurt.. and there were some things that didn't make sense.. but that doesn't matter

Then theres Episode II!!!
How can you guys not like it! There was all those cool space ships and starfights and there were HUNDREDS of Jedi!
But wait... A lot of it didn't make sense.. And when Padme and Anakin had their dialogue it was really cheesy.. but...

Its so hard, you know? Theres a part of me thats like EXPLOSIONS WHEE!
And then theres another part thats all "I could fit a bloated Jim Morrison in this plot hole!!"
I can't decide..

I thought the crazy monster battle in Episode II was ridiculously awesome.

I got two words for you, and both of them are "ewoks".

Yub nub.

Ewoks are the best. Ever. Period. Nothing can beat Ewoks. Not even Jar-Jar.

You know what can beat the ewoks?

Me, with a sock full of nickels.

You'll have to go through me to get to them



How can you say no to that? It's cute!

Nobody's mentioned the army of wookies from the episode III preview yet (unless I've missed it). Chewy does get an awful lot of comedic hype, but really, that is one badass creature. An army of wookies. God. Damn.

Lucas was toeing the line with the ewok thing -- too cute to be believable, but if you went to home depot and bought some heavy chain, you could suspend your disbelief. Like, the lesson is 'even cute little forest creatures are survivors and can be badass when they need to be.'

I had a much bigger problem with stormtroopers getting hit with a rock on the helmet and getting knocked out.

Why do the Stormtroopers even bother wearing armor?
IT seems like even their own blaster rifles are virtually invincible against the armor.

...which is funny, because stormtroopers' blasters are vincible against anything else!

Please include Jar Jar in the sockfest.

Jar Jar vs the Ewoks would be entertaining. Who can get out of the giant blender faster?

Jar Jar & the Ewoks would make a great boyband. See above.

Cuz' I'm bom-bad! Bom-Bad! Jam on it...

The Ewoks didn't bother me as much as the Gungans. At least the Ewoks weren't the standard Lucas 'ethnic-variant' alien race.
Or maybe they were, but it was subtle enough for me not to notice. In Episode One, they all stuck out like so many sore thumbs.

Yes, the ewoks were clearly a cheap marketing ploy, whereas the comedy pratfall plantation stereotypes that were the Gungans horrified me. Although the Gungan chief reminded me of that annoying puppet from Farscape (or the other way round - I can't remember which came first)

Remember, stormtroopers are only human clones underneath the armour.

You get a big enough rock to jar the head of one of these guys..it'll knock them out.

Also, the armour is to protect them from hazzords of battle such as flack and other flying debris. The armour isn't supposed to be inpenatrable... it's just what it is. Armour.

Ewoks were tribal indians... just pick a continent. They were depicted as innocent tribesman who had to protect themselves from oppressive forces from beyond thier land. They lived simply and off of the land. They are a lot like african tribes ...but in a rainforest setting. And adorably cute...which asssentuates their innocence.

Which reminds me of something I like about Farscape -- the puppets. Well yeah, Rigel is kind of annoying, and their makeup is a little over the top, but puppets > CGI any day of the week.

Yeah, but Pilot is the coolest puppet on Farscape.

What creeped me out about Jar-Jar wasn't so much they way he talked, though that was bad enough, but that he showed so much buff alien skin, like he was supposed to be somehow sexy or something. Ewwwww.

Which explains why they had to be covered in fur.

ugh. shaved ewok.

hm, that's quite an interesting point, generic. they seem more adapted to live on hoth. although, i don't think they exactly lived in a rain forest -- the climate seemed a little more temperate than that. but still, they were a bit shaggy for living in a climate like that.

Ahhhhh, roll on April and Lego Star Wars on the PS2





(check out the lego Jar Jar Binks - me wanna whoop his racist ass)
